Summary
FLOCK 1C-4 is a CubeSat (3U) technology satellite manufactured by PLABS and owned by PLABS. It was launched on June 19, 2014, from the DLS launch site using a Dnepr launch vehicle from pad Sh370/13. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length with a span of 0.3 meters and has a diameter of 0.1 meter. Its dry mass is 4.25 kg, which is the same as its launch mass. Equipped with PS0, PS1 or PS2 imaging payload (Dove 0906), it operates on solar cells and batteries for power. The satellite's mission is technology-related and has a lifetime of approximately one year in an ISS orbit and two to three years in SSO (Sun-Synchronous Orbit). It has no motor except for some units that may have FEEP (#Flock-3p'), and its shape consists of a box with two panels.
